Polydopamine-engineered cellulose nanocrystals for NIR-triggered shape memory waterborne polyurethane composites.
The development of sustainable and intelligent polymer composites is imperative for advancing fields such as flexible electronics and soft robotics. This study addresses the interfacial incompatibility between hydrophilic cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and a waterborne polyurethane (WPU) matrix by implementing a bio-ins...
